Somat helps
Elizabethtown College turn food wasteinto energy

While colleges and universities nationwide have composted
organic materials to reduce waste and limit their environmental impact, few are
taking the next step and turning their compost into electricity. With the help
of a Somat pulper and a finely tuned waste management program at the school,
Elizabethtown’s composting program produces enough energy to power 200 homes
and significantly cuts waste – proof that even a small college can make a big
step toward protecting the environment.
